Which crossassembler do you recommend?
(Hi Tim! ;-)
On my search on the net I found several 6510 x-assemblers but which crossassembler do you recommend?
A crossassembler which has Tasm compatibility and has some macro capabilities would be neat.

Quote: I'm using TASS6502 by Taboo (Jayce mentioned it before). The reason for it is mainly that I'm lazy. It's 100% compatible with turbo-assembler on the real thing, which means that any sourcecodes i make are still able to compile on the real thing.
You can ask TDJ and Ben about it, i prepared a small example package for them to show how to compile/make d64's/startup vice/etc.
And by now Jayce & Mirage are using it as well, making it "recommended" by no less than 4 active Focus coders ..
So Roland, if you want to be on your way very quickly this is the one to use. If you want I can forward you that example package Werner mentioned. |

100% compatible ? tass6502 has macros and stuff which wont work in
turbo assembler, and tass6502 cant assemble all turbo
assembler sources(try krills loaders in fixup #$00)

okay, maybe not 100% compatible ;) but with a small rewrite of the sourcecode the macros will also work in a macro-enabled version of TASS on c64.
I think it just depends on how much effort you want to put in making a development system your own :)
For small easy things I'd certainly recommend Taboo's cross-assembler ;) |

yeah i like it too, otherwise i wouldnt have given you
an example package with it =) although i regret it now,
i mean, you never finish your demo, but focus might
provide unwanted competition...
only negative thing so far(except for tass6502 giving
me incorrect code once) is that tslink sometimes puts a
bunch of zeros instead of the wanted data into the linked
file. not that writing an own version takes that many
lines of code, but its a bit annoying
its really nice that levelcrusher is available for dos also,
since some versions of krills loader can load and decrunch
levelcrushed files. having all your files assembled and crunched at once is pretty neat |
